InterestsFoodHistoryTravel
My name is Zoila García. I was born in Guatemala, the fourth of eight children. I like to walk, read, cook and to get to know new cultures. I speak a good amount of English. I have a bachelor's degree in Law and Social Sciences and was the first woman in my village to graduate from university.
Me as a Teacher
I worked in a Spanish language school for twelve years before starting to work for Italki. I understand very well the problems students have learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
I focus on real-life applications of Spanish. I can help you with grammar, homework, vocabulary, conversation, writing practice and anything else you might need. My schedule is open and flexible. I have experience teaching all levels of Spanish from beginners to intermediates to advanced students.
NOTA:
For all my students, because my classes are one after another, Normally my classes start 5 minutes late. To avoid bad blood. Gracias por su comprensión.

Con la ayuda de Zoila pude entender un problema gramatical que me inquietó mucho desde hace unas semanas. Gracias!

There is a reason why so many students have over 10+ lessons with her and some even have 100+... Quality tutor and she is really fun to converse with! Thanks for your help! :D

Zoila is a wonderful teacher. I feel so comfortable speaking with her, and know that she will always supply the corrections and explanations that will push my learning forward. She is an excellent grammar teacher, and I love the exercises we did in our class today, which were challenging in the best way. We always review the homework she assigns, and it reinforces what we cover in class. I just love our classes!

Lessons with Zoila are both enjoyable and productive, with the perfect balance of spontaneous conversation and formal study. I learn so much in both parts of the lesson, thanks to her attentive corrections. I also appreciate how we practice grammatical structures both in writing and orally. I'm so thankful to be studying with Zoila again.

This was my first lesson with Zoila after a 2-year hiatus, and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be back with her! Zoila is truly an expert teacher, and I have missed her. I can always count on her to provide the corrections and guidance that I need, to balance conversation and formal grammar study, to go at just the right pace, and to assign homework that targets my needs. I am super-psyched for our next lesson!
